Question 1

What is it's range?

Accepted Answer

Not sure if this will help, or not.

It was me, and at least 1 little bloodsucking at night in a closed room, about 15 ft by 10 ft, by 10 ft.  I spent half an hour looking for 'em, trying to swat him, and missing every time.

Finally I got the zapper lamp from my car, and returned to the room.  Of course, then I couldn't find 'em.  Figured he'd escaped when I went out for the lamp.  But then he zipped past my face.

So I powered up the UV and shut off the room lights.  Now the only light was the lantern on the desk, and the Computer display.

He buzzed the display twice (and I again failed to catch/smash him) but then, BZZT! Dead Mosquito.

I went to turn the lights back on, and as I hit the switch, BZZT! Apparently there were two of 'em.
Both now past-tense.

As for range, these things are line of sight, power of light attractors.   If there is a brighter light around, it will reduce their effectiveness.  If there is only one bug, it may not even get it.  But if there is a swarm, expect to be cleaning the grill later. (I prefer canned air, and a toothpick if they are really fried on in place.)

It works for Mosquito and Gnat sized light attracted flying things.  I have seen a Moth get zapped, then wake up and fly away, only to come back again.  Flys and wasps don't seem to be attracted. (I did find 1 dead fly once.)

Question 2

How do you clean it?

Accepted Answer

I clean mine with a Qtip

Question 3

Will it kill flys?

Accepted Answer

It's for kill mosquito and can't kill flys,Maybe you can try it.

Question 4

How long is the battery life if you just use it for zapping mosquitos? I'd like to get a bug zapper for my next camping trip to use inside my tent.

Accepted Answer

I have two different look a like brands, for two different rooms of the house! They zap fruit flies and small flying moths. I have NOT been camping with them. After 2 yrs of use they both stay on about 8-10 hrs. A problem on both of them: the plug for charging doesn't line up very well at the lanterns port, so has become slightly bent...so I just leave them plugged in all the time with a rubber band for support!
